Weeks Weather 27.12.09
The north-easterly winds, strong at times, over the Blackall Ranges came from a combination of a high near New Zealand and a weak monsoon trough over northern Australia.
Thunderstorm activity triggered off a week of wet weather. The rain over Christmas came from upper level troughs, enhanced by the remnants of ex-TC Laurence which was carried on a jet stream across the continent. Rainfall for the week was 61mm, bringing the total for the month to 113mm and it is good to see the joy expressed by rural property owners with replenished tanks after experiencing six ‘dry’ months. Paddocks and gardens are looking refreshed and the Obi-Obi flowing once again.
